N2 - Recently, McInerney, Reekie, and Bradley observed bistability in twin diode GaAs/GRAIAs injection lasers in an external cavity when both diodes were above threshold. We show that this bistability may be explained by a form of self-focusing which is produced by induced waveguiding in the wide stripe lasers. A detailed analysis is performed on a standard model of these diodes in an external cavity. We have found very good agreeent between theory and experiment.
